[FC] Tail light problem

[J R Read_HML]

Ben,

Grounding problems seem to be a common problem of FC tail lights.  What I 
did was (this will be non-stock) take the lenses off, drill a pilot hole 
through the light housing and into the body, then put a nice clean sheet 
metal screw in place.  No problems since.

Later, JR
